Super Blue Blood Moon Lights Up The Sky

On January 31, 2018, people in Tokyo had their breath taken away by the super blue blood moon. This is the incredibly rare combination of a full moon that appears larger to the eye than normal (supermoon), the second full moon to come within a calendar month (blue moon), and the red color of the moon during a lunar eclipse (blood moon).

In Tokyo, the phenomenon began to manifest shortly before 9 p.m. and was punctuated by office workers on their way home, as well as downtown diners and drinkers, turning their eyes skyward to appreciate the view.
